Sons of Anarchy MC

The Sons of Anarchy is a Northern California-based outlaw motorcycle club and organized crime syndicate which was formed in 1967 by Vietnam War veterans John Teller and Piney Winston, who were disillusioned by society's lack of respect towards them after their service. The original charter was called "Redwood", and it was based in the region between Eureka and Big Sur before settling in the San Joaquin County town of Charming in 1978. The original chapter became known as the "Red Wood Originals" or "SAMCRO", but it went on to expand to 29 charters worldwide, namely Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, New England, Nevada, New York, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Delaware, and Washington in the United States and Alberta and Manitoba in Canada, plus other charters in the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, and Sweden. In 2008, SAMCRO went to war with the Mayans MC and the Nordics MC, and they later allied with the Mayans against the One-Niners MC and fought against the San Francisco Triads and the ATF that same year. The gang imported Russian-made weapons through Belfast, Northern Ireland and to Oakland with the help of their Real IRA allies, and they became rivals with the Russian Mafia over the gun dealing industry. It later became involved in the cocaine trade with the Galindo Cartel and created an escort service with the help of their Kara Kara adult film studio.
